feu in "feu votre père" --  where else would the [feu]  go?

           Maybe it's from a rule like this:



In French, adjectives that typically go before the noun (modified noun) 
can be categorized with the acronym BANGS which stands for:

Beauty (Beauté):  Adjectives describing beauty or aesthetics often come 
before.

                Ex: Une belle robe (A beautiful dress)


Age (Âge):  Adjectives related to age usually precede the noun.

                  Ex: Un jeune homme (A young man)


Number (Nombre):  Ordinal and cardinal numbers (first, second, three) 
generally come before.

              Ex: La deuxième porte (The second door) /
                   Trois chats (Three cats)


Goodness (Qualité):  Adjectives expressing positive or negative 
qualities often go before.

               Ex: Une bonne idée (A good idea) /
                   Un mauvais comportement (Bad behavior)


Size (Taille):  Adjectives describing size typically precede the noun.

                 Ex: Une petite maison (A small house)
